    July and August of 2007

     
    Hi everyone, lately I've been taking alot of photos at various civil war battlefields in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia (you can view them on my FLICKR page).  Last weekend Olivia and I decided to take a road trip to Petersburg and Appomattox, Virginia.  Both were significant locations in the war between the states which gave me plenty of opportunities to take pictures.  As most of you know, Olivia works in the travel industry and we thought it would be a good idea to try a Bed & Breakfast since neither one of us had ever stayed in one before.  We rented a room in Appomattox in an early 1900s victorian home that was located in the town.  We found the house to be wonderful and it was an overall fun experience but we came to the conclusion that the product really doesn't justify the cost.  A ordinary bed with TV in a climate controlled room is just about all we desire.  Having a home-like environment with a freshly cooked breakfast isn't that big of a deal after you leave the B&B.  Regardless of this, we found it worth it just for the experience.  Stay in touch everybody!  - R&O.

    Oh and I guess another thing I should mention is that we had our 7th wedding anniversary on the 15th of July.  This year, I decided to splurge a little and rented a limo for Olivia (she had never been in one before).  We dressed-up, cruised the streets of Washington, had dinner in a 5-star restaurant, enjoyed a little entertainment with a jazz pianist in Georgetown and made it a night to remember.  It was quite an evening celebrating our seventh year together as husband and wife.
